Tribes

What are Tribes?
Tribes are a basic mechanic in Survival 303 that allows players to team up and survive together. In order to create a tribe, simply click on the Tribe GUI on the top of the player's screen. Then, select your color and tribe name. Once you're finished, you can create your tribe and invite players. In order to join a tribe, the leader of a tribe must send you an invite for you to either accept or decline.

Types of Tribes
It's up to the player on what type of tribe they want to participate in or create. Different people have different play-styles, so you must find the one for you that works best. Of course, you could also just try any tribe play-style you want or decide to go solo.

Raiding Tribes
This is arguably the most popular type of tribe. These players have good weapons and good fire-starters, and are always looking out to raid and burn down other tribes. In order to defend against them, your buildings must be fireproofed and your tribe must have good defenses.

Friendly/Trading Tribes
Another popular tribe type. These kinds of tribes usually settle on one island and monopolize its resources for trading. Popular hot-spots for these kinds of tribes include Mainland, Bento Island, Plateau, etc. Some trading tribes take to the seas and have a large boat for themselves to travel around and trade. Rarely, tribes use gold coins as currency for trading. Friendly tribes are basically trading tribes but don't go and seek out for trades often, and manage themselves in a friendly manner.

Neutral/Anti-Social Tribes
These kinds of tribes are usually hidden away and don't negotiate with other players. They tend to not speak in chat, and pick locations that players won't generally visit. Places for these kinds of tribes include Crescent Island, Desert, and the outskirts of Mainland. Sometimes you can trade with them, but they won't really visit your island often; and, if they do, they're probably just going to use your crafting stations and leave without speaking or maybe a little "hello."

Empire Tribes
This is the rarest kind of tribe. These span over multiple islands and have huge amounts of members. These kinds of tribes are very rare, so don't expect to find them often. If you do happen to meet one, don't expect it to be easy to burn down, as it's likely fireproofed and filled with armed players. Be warned.
